School of Postgraduate Studies

The School of Postgraduate Studies is the conduit for fourth level education at RCSI, overseeing higher degrees (PhD, MD, MCh and MSc) by research, postdoctoral training and workshops for supervisors and thesis examiners.

We also oversee the taught Masters programmes within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. We strive to ensure that all these activities are carried out to the highest standards and that appropriate codes of practice are followed.

The School of Postgraduate Studies aims to enhance the quality of all aspects of the postgraduate and postdoctoral experience, both academic and social, ensuring an optimum environment for personal, scholarly and career development. We are delighted to work with the Postgraduate Students Union, which promotes peer interaction through organised activities and meetings.

Many specific questions about postgraduate training are answered here. However, if you have any further questions, please email us.
